NOTE:
It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with plain
water before actual spraying is attempted.
Allow 20 seconds for the fluid to reach the handgun and begin
spraying. If the fluid does not reach the handgun and drains out of
the hose when the trigger is released, the hose is not connected
to the handgun correctly. Disconnect and reconnect the quick
connect shut off and begin priming again. If the fluid does not
reach the handgun and stays in the coiled hose, lower the hand-
gun below water level, this will allow the pump to prime.
Operation
Fill the tank 1/2 full with water first and then add the chemical slowly, mix-
ing as you pour the chemical into the tank and then fill the rest of the way.
You may use the handgun to spray into the solution in order to mix the
chemical and water.
After spraying, rinse and clean the equipment both inside and out. Flush
the pumping system with water.
Be sure to read the chemical label(s) before application!
After Spraying & Winter Storage
After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the sprayer and
allow the clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out
through the spray nozzle. Refill the tank about half full with plain water and
use FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner and repeat cleaning instructions
above. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning agent, then
flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the chemical manufactur-
er’s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the plumbing components
if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush the
system as instructed after each use.
Drain all water out of your sprayer. Store in a place where temper-
atures will not be in the freezing range.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
